I have a very intense and passionate relationship with peanut butter. Most days our relationship is healthy and balanced. On some days, however, I get a little needy.
Like today, for instance.
One of Many PBFs
This morning I could not get my finger out of the peanut butter jar!
My victim of choice was Krema crunchy peanut butter which I received from the company to sample.
Krema Natural Crunchy Peanut Butter
I am a chunky-pb fanatic, and I couldn’t get over just how crunchy this peanut butter was!
Check Out the Chunks
There were tons of peanutty chunks in every peanut butter finger I enjoyed, and believe me, I had a bunch.
Since peanut butter fingers dominated my morning and I’m pretty sure I ate 300+ calories worth of the good stuff, I kept my breakfast on the lighter side.
I toasted a sweet wheat Alternative Bagel before topping it with two tablespoons of chocolate PB2.
Chocolate PB is Fine By Me
Thursday Breakfast
Like every morning, I also enjoyed a chocolatey calcium supplement (I switch off between Viactiv and Adora calcium disks).
Adora Calcium Disk
This was one PB-tastic way to start the day!
Workout
I think my body was craving the calories from peanut butter after a 5-mile run with Sadie.
During our run we were sprayed by three different sprinklers! Floridians apparently enjoy watering their sidewalks as well… 😉

Peanut Butter Fingers 
I can get Krema at my local store and have never been tempted until you just showed the inside of the jar. I don’t always care for crunchy peanut butter, but that looks delicious!
if you get it, make sure to refrigerate it b/c it’s a little goopy otherwise!
I’ve never tried that kind but the chunky kind looks awesome.
I’m dangerous too when theres are lots of pb jars in the house. My favorite snack is a spoonful of peanut butter! So good and so satisfying!
The chocolate PB2 is off the hook good! I love it!!! 🙂 Good job on your 5 miler!!
That chunky PB looks ah-ma-zing! I’m a PB monster too…it’s tough to resist. 🙂 I need to get my hands on that chocolate PB. Sounds delicious!
PB fingers are the best…I swiped quite a few myself last night!! I need to keep an eye out for that chunky PB, it’s my dad’s favorite! Love that top, by the way!
Cute shirt- love the color yellow in spring & summer.
& alternative bagels are the BEST!!!! 😀
Chunky, only way to go!
chunky pb is GREAT!
hey, whered you get the shirt?
it’s from bebe, but i got it several years ago. 🙂
you are gorgeous. and so fit!!! I have PBF but also a PBA…a as in ass.
BTW I just ordered some PB2 do you love it?
yeah it’s really good – but you can definitely tell the difference betw. PB2 & regular PB. i like them both though.
I bought those alternative bagels because I saw them on your blog! LOVE them…YUM

i love them too! so tasty!
Chunky PB >> Creamy PB. Always. Errday.
I can’t do chunky pb. I’m not that big a fan of peanut butter (!) to want a crunch. I wouldn’t mind chocolate pb with chocolate chunks, though.
I love my Viactiv calcium chews! I usually have mine in the afternoon when I need a little chocolatey goodness to keep me going!
I am partial to creamy peanut butter, but that one actually looks delicious!
I’m a big pb fan as well. I’m thinking about going to Pb & Co. , the peanut butter restaurant here in NYC. Yummm. The elvis sandwhich please!
Haha my sister eats PB the same way.
I think I’m going to need some PB in my lunch now…
Great now you made me want some! I’m eating a spoonful now. Not sure which kind, its organic and has no preservatives though.
Peanut butter fingers are totally acceptable, at every single meal 😉 You are too gorgeous!!
YUM!!! That pb looks so so so good!
That PB looks amazing! I love crunchy peanutbutter, too ! mm 🙂 I actually think I’ll have some for my lunch (I keep a jar in my drawer at work haha)
I’m the same way with crunchy almond butter. SO good!
hahahaha this post literally made me laugh at my computer screen! just about an hour ago i had my spoon stuck in the EXACT same peanut butter…it’s seriously all of the peanut chunks that makes it IMPOSSIBLE for me to take my spoon out of the jar. i’m glad we both enjoyed our fair share of it this morning! 🙂
Darn it, why do PB calories have to add up so fast. I’m a crunchy girl too : )
I am quite familiar with the Siren song of PB… Although I don’t discriminate too much, crunchy PB is truly a food after my own heart. The crunchier the better!
hahaha so cute!!! i love your pb fingers 🙂 that peanut butter lookks so delicious!
xoxoxo
Honestly, Id say that was still restraint on your part as I have actually consumed an entire jar in a sitting… ; /. i should be called “peanut butter fistfulls” haha
PS crunchy ALL the way. sometimes i even take som crushed peanuts (honey roasted is awesome) and put them in smooth.
MA
Krema PB is THE BEST! I have a hard time keeping my finger out of there too. I like Adora better than Viactiv – it’s more like real chocolate – but at my grocery they are way more expensive 😦
Hi Julie!
You mentioned your hip injury the other day. I currently have a knee injury (from running, i think? overuse maybe?).. how did you stay fit while you were injured? any tips would be appreciated!
thanks,
Katie
i did a LOT of low-impact cardio (elliptical, biking, swimming) & tried to keep up w/ strength training as well. it was hard not being able to do intense exercise for a while, but doing SOMETHING was better than nothing!
I’m a chunky PB fan as well! So yummy
